Join the foundation that connects the past and future of the U.S. Air Force.
The Air Force Historical Foundation can help you explore the history of American aviation and air power and help you understand how generations of officers and enlisted personnel since 1909 have made the United States Air Force the standard of excellence throughout the world. By becoming a member, you help us foster aviation and airpower history throughout America.
As a new member of the Foundation, you will receive Air Power History magazine, a nationally acclaimed quarterly magazine that sets the benchmark of excellence among aviation magazines.
The Foundation also sponsors a biographical book program that provides insight into past air operations and decision-making.
You will be encouraged to attend the Foundation's excellent biennial symposiums on aviation and airpower topics of special interest.
Our 2007 symposium, held in October, was highlighted by informative presentations on airpower lessons learned, and their importance in preparing for the future. Topics at the 2007 event included:
- The forgotten Air Force strategy for limited wars and counterinsurgencies
- Transforming aerial warfare in the 21st century: the marriage of strategic bombers and the Joint Direct Attack Munitions
- The Air National Guard's evolving role in low-intensity conflict: engaging non-state actors both at home and abroad
- MIDAS: the birth of early warning
- DARPA rising: the race for space and the early years of the Advanced Research Projects Agency, 1958-1960
- From satellite tracking to space situational awareness: The USAF and space surveillance, 1957-2007
- A historical assessment of the 2004-2005 Tsunami Humanitarian Relief Operation
